Topic awaiting preservation: repeated dHTML question I'm sure... (Page 1 of 1)

I have been searching for a tutorial on a dHTML window that will load content dynamically and is able to be moved, like what Doc uses on his main page. If someone could please direct me to a site with this I would greatly appreciate it.

I have seen bratta's dHTML Central site but I would like to have it load the content into the window one at a time.

Thank you, thank you, thank you...

~Again I appologize for a question that I am sure has been asked a million times but the search didn't pull anything up for me~

CPrompt: There are probably other ways, e.g.:

but I might go for a careful combo of IFRAMEs and LAYERs (for NS4.x) which could work if you but the IFRAME in NOLAYER tags (its something I've been pondering but haven't got around to and it would solve the really big IFRAME problem). Its not overly clear what you want to do or the amount of content you have to load. If its some small amount of text then the link above, if it is only a few pages just load them all in one go and swap the layers and if it is more then I might go for the above.

Or I've misread the question or there is a much simpler solution that I've missed!!

This has been somewhat of a Holy Grail for sometime now. There are ways to accomplish what you ask CPrompt but to my knowledge none of them are straightforward. On my dHTML windowed pages, I just load all the content that will appear on those windows into the entire page. You just don't see it all a once.

Perhaps someone has worked out the solution in a tute but one of the ways I've been toying with is to have a hidden frame that will load in content then transfer that content to the visible frame and load it into the layers using the innerHTML method.

I have not actually tried to make that solution work yet but one of the other members might have by now. I think Slime was going to try it at one time.

Yeah, I was looking at that and was trying to figure out a way to use it. I think that that
mixed with Bratta's script and some additions it will work. I just need the previous window to either close or there to be one window that will load the text according to what link was clicked.

Thanks for the reply.

Bugs: It is an interesting problem and that is certainly an interesting solution.

CPrompt: Whatever you did would still have the one of the problems of frames (i.e. not being able to link into a specific page) but I've been thinking that you could work around this using a query string in the URL.

I am interested to know if there is a workable solution.

Bugs: that sounds very interesting. This is just something that I have been kind of playing with. Thanks for the reply. I figured this was something that a lot of people were doing.

Thanks
